Could I get some advice of how best to move this forward.

I found a bad debt marker on my credit file from BG.  I raised a complaint with the EO.
The EO has found two areas that require remedy from BG but has not found in favour of removing the marker.

I don't agree with the outcome and challenged it, it has been passed as 'decision made' and will not review the complaint.

Should I just accept it and move or is there another way to progress this?  The EO is going to close my case regardless so I feel like it is a fait accompli in terms of the outcome with the EO.

I am just truly miffed having spent a long, long time resolving my energy bills with BG (previous EO claim due to dodgy smart meter).

Is this going to continue to negatively impact my credit file?  I have had some adverse credit in the past and worked really hard to put this right - it is undoing this work that has really got my goat.

Any thoughts on what to do before I click the 'Accept' button?

    why was the marker added in the first place?

    you can ask for a notice to be put onto your file so that potential lender see the explanation if they need to.
